There are no foreign ministers in the palace, they are all members of the Zhu family.
The old man waved his hand and said, "Tell Guanglu Temple to pass on the meal!"
The catering for the Gongnian Festival is jointly supervised by the monks of Guanglu Temple. After the old man finished speaking, the palace servants in colorful costumes filed out, holding exquisite gold and silver utensils that were not seen on ordinary days.
Tables and chairs have been set up in the main hall, and the concubines in the harem are seated one by one according to their rank. The one closest to the old man is Concubine Guo Hui, followed by Concubine Sun, Concubine Zheng and others. After that are the concubines, and at the end is the beauty with the lowest status.
.
These concubines are of different ages, but the youngest one is nearly thirty years old. Although she is older, she is still beautiful in her dress. After sitting down, there is another burst of jewels.
The old man and Zhu Yunxi sat at the same table, and Pu Bucheng was waiting beside them.
"Your Majesty, this year's menu is set by His Highness!" Pu Bucheng said with a smile.
"Are you afraid that your grandpa won't be able to eat well?" The old man said with a smile, "Think about big things, and these servants will take care of them!"
"I'm not afraid that you won't be able to eat well, but I'm afraid that you will be frugal in everything!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
The shiny gold and silver vessels were covered with lids, and the palace was filled with the aroma of delicacies. On the concubine's table, there were roasted clams, fried shrimps, frog legs, bamboo shoots and chicken breasts, as well as sea cucumbers, sole fish, shark tendons, fat chickens, and pigs.
The tendons are cooked in one place, in two steaming pots.
In addition to these, they also have salted drum and mustard lamb tripe plate on their table, garlic vinegar and white blood soup, five-flavor steamed chicken, yuan-juice lamb bones, spicy-vinegar paste kidneys, steamed fresh fish, five-flavor steamed gluten, lamb crystal horns, silk
Goose noodle soup and other savory dishes.

In addition, there is a Pepsi Lucky Box, which contains persimmons, lychees, round eyes, chestnuts, and ripe dates. There are also three products of fresh fruits, three products of dried fruits, and three products of wine.
"That's quite a lot!" The old man looked at the table full of dishes and said with a smile, "Can we two eat it?"
"If you can't finish the reward, give it to the guards outside, so that they can take it to the family to eat!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "Grandpa, the Ming Dynasty is rich and will not lack our meal!"
Zhu Yunxi is not a luxurious person, but whether the old man celebrates the Chinese New Year or not, he only has three or four dishes and one soup, which is indeed a bit shabby. Besides, most of these dishes are tributes. In the large treasury of the Shangshan Supervisor, there are mountains of delicacies from all over the place.
.
"This table of dishes!" the old man said with a smile while holding gold chopsticks. "Forty years ago, your grandfather would not have dared to think of it." He said, laughing and scolding, "He has never seen it before!"
"Grandpa, try this pot!" Zhu Yunxi poured a bowl for the old man and said with a smile, "While it's hot!"
The old man took it and looked at the dishes on the table carefully, wondering, "Where are the dumplings? Why are there no dumplings?"
Zhu Yunxi smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry!" He clapped his hands gently and said with a smile, "The dumplings are here!"
The old man's puzzled gaze saw a dozen women in palace attire coming in with smiles on their faces, holding trays.
"Father, happy New Year!" All the women bowed down.
"Why are you here?" the old man asked doubtfully.
These women are all princesses of the Ming Dynasty. First of all, there are Princess Lin'an, Princess Ningguo, and Princess Qingyang. First they kowtow in front of the old man, and then three silver plates are placed on the long table where the vegetables are placed.
When dining with the crown prince, there is a small table, and the dishes are placed on a large table alone, and are served by eunuchs).
Princess Lin'an personally picked up a few ingot-shaped dumplings, knelt down and presented them to her, kowtowing and saying, "My father has waited for decades to raise his daughter, but the daughter has nothing to offer in return. In the past, the queen mother made dumplings during the Chinese New Year, but this year the daughters made them with their own hands."
You made dumplings in New Year, try it, how much does it taste like?"
"Father, please try it!"
"Father, this is my daughter's first time cooking!"
In front of them are the daughters who have grown up and are married. Their eyes are as clear as when they were children. The older ones in the front are better, but the younger ones in the back are still as charming and naive as they talk in the palace.
In his heart, his son is a treasure, and his daughter is also a treasure. Among his brothers, he was the only male left at that time, and they were both men and women. They were all blood of the Zhu family. If he really didn't take his daughter seriously, he would
It's impossible for all the princes-in-law to be in high positions.
"Okay!" the old man trembled, picked up a dumpling and put it into his mouth.
Zhu Yunxi looked on, feeling satisfied in his heart.
Satisfied after fulfilling filial piety, which old man in the world doesn't want his children to be around and lively during the New Year? It's just that sometimes the Tian family has to stay apart due to etiquette and law. The old man is getting older, and his heart is about the relationship between the country and the country.
Besides, what I miss most are my children and grandchildren.
During the festive season, we miss our loved ones even more. Not only do the younger generation miss their elders, but the elders miss their younger generation even more.
"What you are eating is stuffed with celery. This celery is fresh vegetables that my daughter and sisters picked in the imperial village outside the city!" Princess Ningguo, who was sent by Empress Ma, said with a smile, "When I made the stuffing, I specially found the original celery.
The palace servants around the Queen Mother behave exactly the same as the Queen Mother!"
The old man usually smacks his mouth when he eats, and he eats very quickly.
But now I eat it in small bites, as if I'm afraid that if I swallow it in one bite, I won't be able to taste it.
"It tastes like that! It's delicious! Hmm..." As he said that, the old man's face was slightly stunned, he opened his mouth and a small gold coin fell out.
"Father, you are so lucky!" Princess Lin'an said with a smile, "My daughters made two hundred dumplings with two coins in them. You can eat them in one bite!"
"Haha, we are already this old, what is the use of this?" The old man smiled brightly, "Sit down, everyone, sit down and eat!" Then he turned to Zhu Yunxi and said, "You kid, try your best to make us happy!"
"I told you a long time ago that the aunts will come to celebrate the New Year!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "How can one family share the same reason to celebrate the New Year!" He said with a smile, "Grandpa, your aunts and grandsons
, granddaughter, come over in the second half of the day. I’m sure you’ll be dazzled tonight!”
"You kid!" the old man laughed and scolded again, "Pu Bucheng, pour wine for us!"
It is the Spring Festival of the 25th year of Hongwu. There are at most five Spring Festivals before the old man leaves. One less year after the other, the old man loves Zhu Yunxi to the core, so why is Zhu Yunxi the same?
The best filial piety is to accompany the old man on his last journey. Let the old man walk happily and without regrets on the last road of life.
In the past few years, I strive to be lively and happy every year, and don’t let the old man worry about it anymore. Everything in the family and the world will be prosperous.
In fact, after sending the old man away, Zhu Yunxi probably has no chance of family affection in this life. Treating the old man well is not like being kind to himself.
A noisy day passed. On New Year's Eve, several fires were lit in the open space in front of the palace. The blazing bonfires lit up the night sky, accompanied by the deafening sound of firecrackers. The palace was full of smiling faces.
The next day, the first day of the Lunar New Year, is Zhengdan.
Officials above the Beijing rank must visit the palace to pay New Year's greetings.
Fengtian Hall has a majestic atmosphere of the heavenly family. There is an incense table in the east of the hall, and there are musicians in the west. Outside the hall, palace people in colorful clothes stand with their hands hanging down.
Bang, a cannon sounded, and hundreds of officials slowly entered from outside the Meridian Gate.
Bang, two cannons were fired, and the ceremonial officer guided the officials to go through the left gate and the right gate. After entering the Fengtian Hall, stand on the east and west sides of the palace platform and face the north.
Bang, three cannons were fired, and Pu Bucheng led the twelve eunuchs into the Huagai Hall next to Fengtian Hall, and invited the old man and Zhu Yunxi to enter Fengtian Hall and take the throne.
Wearing dragon robes, the two men slowly walked up the imperial steps. The old man's dragon chair was wiped clean, and the golden dragon on it had wide eyes and was full of majesty. Next to the dragon chair, there was a round stool wrapped with a golden dragon, as a sign for the emperor. Designed for the grandson.
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
"The great grandson of the Emperor is a thousand years old!"
As the curtain in front of the throne slowly opened, the ministers knelt down and shouted loudly under the guidance of the ceremony officials. The palace musicians played ritual music, and the bells and drums rang in unison.
When the music fell, Liu Sanwu, the scholar from Shushe, played the lyrics on behalf of the officials.
"I am an official and a minister. It is the first day of the lunar month, the three Yangs are prosperous, and all things are new. I respectfully express my sincere wishes to His Majesty the Emperor, and pray for eternal prosperity."
Then, Zhu Yunxi stood up and said, "The celebration of the end of the journey is the same as yours!"
Then, music was played again, and the officials led the officials, and the officials went to the banquet.
Today's banquet dishes are not as sumptuous as yesterday's, but there are red envelopes given by the emperor on every table.
The martial arts were separated and lined up on both sides of the main hall.
"When we were working for the people in the early years!" the old man said slowly in the main hall, "we helped the wealthy families. During the Chinese New Year, they would prepare a table of hard food to reward the workers. You are the servants of the Ming Dynasty, and we are the servants of the Ming Dynasty. As a family member, I can’t treat you badly!”
"On the New Year's Day, everyone is celebrating!" The old man continued, "My dear friends, please drink this cup with me. May I have a great Ming Dynasty, good weather and good weather, and may my country be prosperous for thousands of years!"
After some congratulations, the banquet began in the main hall.
It was lively, but in such a scene, everyone was somewhat alienated. In previous years, those military officers and nobles would have made a fuss and toasted, but this year, after the Lan Yu incident, everyone was more worried.
Among the generals, Fu Youde and other veterans were in front, and the Chang family brothers were in the back. They drank only lightly, and their actions were quite restrained.
"Pu can't do it!" Zhu Yunxi said.
"Your Highness! My servant is here!"
"Please invite Prince Shen, Prince Tang and others to come over?"
"This..." Pu Bucheng looked at the old man.
"I'm giving a banquet to all the ministers, why are they here?" The old man frowned, "You are the crown prince, so you can go down and walk around in a while. Forget about others, you have to be a good example for those meritorious veterans!"
"Don't worry, grandson, let you see the jokes first!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
Not long after, several bad boys like Shen Wang and Tang Wang came in with smiles.
After first paying tribute to the old man and Zhu Yunxi, a few bad boys walked among the ministers and looked at their uncles with smiles.
Zhao Long, who had just been promoted to the post of Chief Minister of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, felt his heart pounding when he looked at Tang Wang Zhu Kuang who was winking and smiling at him.
"Your Highness!"
Even my uncle could only stand up and bow to me on this occasion.
Suddenly, Zhu Huang picked up a knife from the table.
"Your Highness!" the people around suddenly exclaimed.
"Red envelope, big red envelope!" Zhu Huang cut his hair with a knife, "Otherwise, uncle will die!"
At the same time, all the young princes stretched out their little hands towards their uncle.
The main hall of Nuo University was filled with their childish shouts, "Red envelope!"
~~~The chapters that connect the previous and the following are not my water. Everyone thinks that the description of water requires a lot of information to find out.
I have tried to shorten the process of celebrating the New Year as much as possible. And because it is shortened, the rhythm is ruined. But for you, everything is worth it, buy it.
It will be exciting soon, hehe!
